The Crazies (2010) is a 2010 American zombie horror film directed by Breck Eisner, written by Scott Kosar and Ray Wright, and produced and distributed by Overture Films and Participant Media. It is The Remake of The Crazies, and stars Timothy Olyphant, Radha Mitchell, Joe Anderson, and Danielle Panabaker. George A. Romero, who directed the original, serves as an executive producer here.The residents of the farming community Ogden Marsh go about their daily lives, but everything changes when one resident walks into a crowded baseball game with a shotgun, silent and stoic. When he's shot down, the town's sheriff David (Olyphant) and town doctor Judy (Mitchell) realize that an unknown biological agent is turning those infected into cold, calculating, emotionless, and insane killers. And things go From Bad to Worse when they realize that the military arriving in town has no intentions of saving any residents, only killing them all, making escape a precarious task.The movie is well known for being a Remade and Improved version of the original, garnering positive reception from both critics and audiences, being a mild box office success, and has earned Cult Classic status as a result. | |

And Then John Was a Zombie | |
| The Crazies (2010) / int_115d318 | comment |
And Then John Was a Zombie: Done for pretty much the entire town, but this trope can be mainly attributed with Deputy Russell Clank. He starts out as the one who helps David the most and even saves his life on several occasions. However, as the film progresses, it becomes pretty obvious that Russell is losing his mind, becoming increasingly unstable to the point where he murders someone in an instant Mood Whiplash. Fortunately, he's able to hold it together long enough to help our main characters escape, sacrificing himself so that they can live. | |

The Virus | |
| The Crazies (2010) / int_1c7555f1 | comment |
The Virus: A bio-weapon derived from the same family of viruses as rabies, which over the course of several days makes its infected hosts descend into homicidal mania and then makes them go from looking normal to gaining freaky eyes and wormy grey skin. The Trixie virus' infected victims can crudely mimic human behavior but it should become clear to any common-sensed person within 30 seconds that they're behaving off. | |

Punch-Clock Villain | |
| The Crazies (2010) / int_20860a0e | comment |
Punch-Clock Villain: Billy Babcock, one of the soldiers who was briefly held hostage by David, Russell, Judy and Becca before he is released by them, is one due to admitting that he did not sign up to take innocent unarmed lives, realizing they were lied to about wearing a gas mask to avoid death, which apparently does not happen to Babcock and apologizing for what happened to their town. In return for being shown mercy, Babcock doesn't rat out on them to his platoon as they move out. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| The Crazies (2010) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: While other characters and the ending credits only refer to him by his first name, Russell at one point mentions his surname is Clank, a reference to the character from the original he's based on. When Russell stops the government SUV, he says to the driver, "Welcome to Pierce County, the friendliest place on Earth, asshole." This is a reference to a sign which appears in one of the posters (or vice-versa). The old Ford LTD police car that the group attempts to escape in is a 1973 model, the same year that the original movie was released. | |

Fortunately, Sheriff Obvious is there to tell people that they're in trouble. The people don't listen. | |

Damsel in Distress: Any time David leaves Judy alone for more than two minutes, she ends up facing a crazy and needing rescuing. She beats the shit out of a crazy in the scene with the no-touch car wash, though, and later in the big rig. Pretty much everyone but Russell qualifies as a '[Pronoun] in Distress' at one point or another. It's that kind of movie. | |

Humans Are the Real Monsters | |
| The Crazies (2010) / int_4ac8b81f | comment |
Humans Are the Real Monsters: This Romero staple is also present in both the original and the remake; while the virus certainly causes insanity and violent tendencies in its hosts, it should be noted that most of those infected maintain self-awareness and personality, some retain their full intelligence, and some aren't even violent at all. The murderous acts committed by those who do turn violent seem to stem from their own deep, subconscious desires, such as for revenge, or for an "entertaining" hunt, or to slice up on living bodies. As such, it can be argued that Trixie doesn't make the townsfolk murderers, it just brings out their violent intentions. | |

Downer Ending: Everyone David and Judy knew is now dead since the government nuked their home town after indiscriminately killing EVERYONE inside. Even when they escape to Cedar Rapids, a satellite catches sight of them, and the military initiates the same containment protocol once more. The Stinger then shows a Crazy appearing on the news, so the Trixie Virus somehow got out despite all the military's efforts. According to the original script, this is because David is infected. | |

Not Using the "Z" Word | |
| The Crazies (2010) / int_525df529 | comment |
Not Using the "Z" Word: Given that the infected remain intelligent, and in a few cases extremely creative, this might be justified. They also do not eat flesh. And, unless David was infected from the beginning (He did happen to get through the military's inspection) the "virus" does not appear to be a virus at all since he didn't become infected after having infected blood in an open wound. It sounds more like a chemical weapon than a biological one. Averted in the motion comics where the later infected very obviously bite people and one of the hunters starts eating a soldier. | |

Hero of Another Story: While the heroes are trying to figure out how to escape from quarantine, a seemingly uninfected group of men led by someone named Tom Ellis avoid the roundup of the townspeople, get some guns, and drive through the fence, allowing a lot of people to escape. They are only seen briefly, and from a distance, and most of the group is shot within seconds. Subverted, though, in that we can't be sure whether Tom's group weren't infected after all and did what they did just to cause chaos. | |

No FEMA Response | |
| The Crazies (2010) / int_70e8a55a | comment |
No FEMA Response: The remake has the first city cordoned off and Fuel Air Bombed. Worse, they make everybody think they're evacuating when they're really just herding them into trucks to execute them with machine guns and burn the bodies. Survivors make it to another city which is then targeted for the same treatment. The latter could possibly be an aversion. There was evidence outside civilian help had been brought in (civilian ambulances at the evacuation point) and the motion comic strongly suggests there was a breakdown of order at the evacuation point after the containment area was breached. | |

Our Zombies Are Different | |
| The Crazies (2010) / int_8ba9512b | comment |
Our Zombies Are Different: The Virus (which is waterborne instead of being spread via Plague Zombies) turns the infected into Technically Living Zombies, and is technically a Hate Plague. The infected still remember how to walk, talk, drive, use tools and do all that stuff that'd usually be used by aliens or fairies as evidence that Humans Are the Real Monsters, but they're off enough in their heads that they become Ax-Crazy machines who use human ingenuity to gruesomely torture and kill indiscriminately. As the infection worsens, the infected look more zombie-like. It's demonstrated in the film that the infected only have a lifespan of a matter of days once they're infected. | |

Government agents likewise justify what they're doing as a means to keep any other towns or cities from getting contaminated, which is implied to have failed in the end.

Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: The people who get pitchforked while strapped to hospital beds and completely unable to escape. At least they're crazy. | |

Armies Are Evil | |
| The Crazies (2010) / int_c9aea8c8 | comment |
Armies Are Evil: Unsurprising as a staple of Romero's films. Played with in this version, as the grunts have been lied to — they were told that everyone was infected regardless of appearance, and it's ambiguous as to whether the slain civilians they find in the end are due to them becoming infected or not. The motion comic suggests that there was a breakdown at the evacuation zone as well, which would explain the slain civilians. Also, seeing as the military probably didn't have the manpower to go after every single infected in such a large, open town, there really was no other way to ensure quarantine after containment was broken. | |

| The Crazies (2010) / int_cf92fea8 | comment |
Cassandra Truth: David. He goes to the Mayor to warn that he thinks the water supply is contaminated. The Mayor refuses to give his hunch credence - however, it was more due to his concern for keeping a farming community thriving during planting season than ignoring a potential biohazard. | |

Adaptational Wimp | |
| The Crazies (2010) / int_d500b978 | comment |
Adaptational Wimp: The remake's version of the Trixie Virus in this movie is less dangerous than the one in the 1973 original. For one, the remake Crazies have a maximum lifespan of two days whereas the original Crazies had no such expiration date if they survived the initial two-day incubation. Furthermore, the remake Crazies is more Obviously Evil and shows noticeable symptoms such as skin lesions and unusual eye color whereas the original Crazies looked no different from the uninfected and thus blended in better with the healthy population. | |

Driven to Madness | |
| The Crazies (2010) / int_d6b5863 | comment |
Driven to Madness: The entire town, save a few, thanks to an engineered virus in the water supply. We even get to see some of the people and how normal they were before they lost their marbles: The High School Principal goes from coaching baseball to impaling people with a pitchfork. The Coroner in the Funeral Parlor performs autopsies on deceased townsfolk, then begins mutilating people and sewing their eyes and mouths shut. Rory Hamill's wife and son seem to be decent people before they went insane and decided to murder David and his wife (thankfully, they fail). For that matter, Rory himself, an alcoholic with two years of sobriety. Last but not least and probably the most notable, a group of hunters are shown hunting game in the marshes (albeit illegally) not long before they decided to begin hunting humans for sport, even converting a storeroom at a truck stop into a pantry to string up human corpses. | |

Recovered Addict | |
| The Crazies (2010) / int_da1e24b7 | comment |
Recovered Addict: Rory is known as the village drunk, even though he had stopped drinking two years before the events of the film. When he walks with a gun to the baseball field in the middle of a game and does not seem to understand what is happening around him, the sheriff believes he started drinking again. When Rory dies, however, the tests show that he had no alcohol in his blood. | |

Chekhov's Gunman: The Black SUV driver who photographs the townspeople for the government later gets an Info Dump scene, though the person inside the SUV seen when we first see the car. The three rednecks that discover the drowned pilot at the beginning of the film go on a human-hunt during the outbreak, killing infectees and non-infectees alike. They even provide the final confrontation with the heroes. | |

Along the way, a military copter spots them on the highway and makes chase, and they pull into a car wash to lose the chopper. After a fight through the car wash after getting trapped, the car getting smashed to hell and Becca's death, they turn to go back to the car... right as the copter flies by and drops a bomb on it. Initiate containment protocol. | |
